Here is a whole bunch of icons that I had not yet posted to my LJ. I made them for the past round of seasonal_spuffy, which had as its theme "A New Era". That made me think of the Aquarius song from Hair (This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius), so I decided to make icons for each zodiac sign. Each icon comes in two versions: one with, and one without the zodiac symbol. There are also a few extras. ETA: I added a few more extras for the Pisces symbol icon, because I've never been happy with that one (the version without symbol is fine).

Notes

Aries is ruled by the planet Mars (god of war!) and its element is fire. So this one had to be feisty fighty Spuffy.

Taurus = bull; this one is obvious, I should think.

Gemini are the twins, so I wanted an image of Buffy and Spike side by side. Randy and Joan fit the bill.

Cancer is associated with night and emotion; but mostly, I thought the symbol's shape fit this image of them.

Leo = lion, ruled by the sun. So this had to be Spike making like a lion from The Harsh Light of Day.

Virgo: Buffy and Spike in their virgin years, with Buffy in a historical outfit like William.

Libra is represented by scales, so this is Buffy as Lady Justice, based on images from the Buffy tarot set illustrated by Paul Lee.

Scorpio is supposed to be a sexy sign, as it "rules the genitals" (?!)

Sagittarius is the archer, so I just had to use the iconic image of Buffy with the crossbow from The Harvest.

Capricorn is Buffy's star sign, so I wanted to use a Buffy birthday image.

Aquarius: the comics are a new era for Spuffy, and what better comic image to use than Spike's mental image of Buffy as a flower child! Art by Rebekah Isaacs.

Pisces has water as its element, and people with this sign are supposed to be sensitive dreamers.

Still so brilliant an idea, and so excellently executed! I love the explanation you added! My faves are still (I guess :) )Taurus, Gemini (which I already snagged as alt), Leo, Sagittarius and Capricorn. Which I still absolutely have to snag for Birthday Wishes...(I have to increase the number of userpics ...*sigh*. But on the plus side I can snag more of these fabulous icons then :) )

Thanks, that is really nice to hear! I like Pisces too, but only the version without zodiac symbol. The one with the symbol I've never been happy with, so I've made a few alternatives for that one which I've now added to the entry.
